Here at the mountain…
THE STUDENTS HAVE ARRIVED!
Yesterday, all 271 students trekked their way to the incredible two week camp that is the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute. Students experienced a broad range of emotions. Some were nervous and exhausted from the trip here, but I know for a fact that all of them were eager to start their adventure at OSAI.
As counselors, we were so ready to have these students come. 
Students walked around the grounds to get the feel of the area.
Finally, it was time for dinner. Dinner included chicken, salad, macaroni and cheese and other tasty selections.
After dinner, students met their accomplished instructors who will stretch their knowledge of their discipline throughout the next two weeks.
Finally, students headed off to their classes to hear about what they will be doing in detail from their instructors. Afterwards, they headed to their living areas to have a cabin meeting with their counselors to hear one more time the importance of safety and abiding by the rules here at OSAI. At 11:00 p.m., it was lights out and everyone was asleep so they could be ready to start their classes the next day.
There are already plans in the making of field trips for the photography students, dissecting poetry for the creative writing students, and much more. The students participating here at OSAI will come away with an exciting adventure to tell for years to come.
